The approved version of the city’s nondiscrimination ordinance

Last Thursday, the City Council approved the controversial nondiscrimination ordinance that had consumed the city’s conscience for weeks.

Leading up to adoption, there was a lot of hubbub about language regarding the use of restrooms by transgender people. During Thursday’s deliberation, Councilman Rey Saldaña moved to amend the language to say the following: “Nothing in Division 5 will be construed as allowing any person to enter any sex-segregated space for any unlawful purpose.”
